I like the ay the PHP tags look but I'm always expecting to see PHP after them for some reason. I vote stick with the CODE tags unless you write really messy code and the syntax highlighting is the only way we can read it.

Ok, so what exactly don't you like about the PHP tags, the colours used or because they don't highlight C++ keywords like int and char?

PHP sytax colours can be configured in php.ini, so if thats why no one likes them I guess we could ask the webmaster to change them. I agree they're not the best choice of colours, but I find it very difficult to read 50-100 lines of code in plain black and white, so for me any sort of highlights are better than none.
